I'm talking about people like Alec Monopoly and Herr Nilsson. Do they have any background in art or they just having a laugh?

Not sure I agree saint.
In any walk of life there going to great stuff and versions of the same that's awful.
There's great music, and crap music.
There are wonderful plays and dire boring plays.
Etc
Has it not always, and will it not always, be thus?
I still think there is a huge amount of exciting art, street and otherwise, out there.
But it has been said that I have a niave blind optimism. So maybe you are right.

Its only another nail Coach, luckily there is still enough good stuff that finds its way out of the gaps and into the real world. Unfortunately more and more shit gets brought out (both music and art) and we hoover it up and let it go.
Perhaps its the copious amounts of wine i've had at my xmas party today, but i'm tired of the crap i keep seeing (and hearing). One more sodding song from Buble's xmas album and i'm gonna have to start shooting people.

From what I have heard is that Alec comes from an incredibly wealthy family and that's how he was able to get the shows, pr, and gallery representation he has. Money talks.
This isn't true. He grew up in central Long Island. He built his career from scratch in the streets of NYC. His dad was into music in the 60s & 70s but is far from wealthy. He's a solid bloke who caught a break when Adrian Brody picked up a canvas a few years ago at Art Basel.

He might be a solid bloke but he's a fucking shit artist.

He started putting his time in on the streets of NYC for the better part of a decade. He gave away art to friends for nothing back in the day. He's a generous spirit who is riding a wave.
I recognize that Bieber is a joke in the street art world. But I totally understand following that oath as an artist. The kid had exposure. And granted its a sell out move coming from the stance of Banksy, Alec will make a living doing what he loves, albeit unconventionally.

His street pieces are pretty chill. I like running across them. I'm not running out to buy any of his work personally. But I understand where you all are coming from.

EVERYTHING is instantly sold out" ... Enough said ! ;-) Reminded me the Walton Carpet Shop's Sales pitch, hence the Bambi mention...

I recognize that you guys personally act with the utmost integrity and I have a huge amount of respect for you because of it. So when another gallery pushes the hype machine, I fully understand the difference.
(in response to Afrika & Shootagain)
his work is rather two note.
I'm not collecting it personally. I do have a bit of nostalgia when seeing it after living in the East Village for 15 years though.

this is depressing... its a real a shame when theres so many talented and dedicated artists who get minimal recognition for their work and these talentless wasters get the spotlight because of relentless propaganda and money spending, maybe forum members should set up a poll to vote on who they think deserves the recognition and everyone could chip in (whatever they can afford) and help a genuine artist acheive their dream
